“Probably they should not have refused it. It would have provided jobs by putting people on the payroll.”

“He should have accepted it because we don’t always know what the future holds. To have accepted it would mean a gift during this time of economic chaos.”

“I think it was better to give people a job for the three years and they should have accepted the stimulus money. We need more deputies.”

Mary Root

“Sheriff Scott probably had a good reason; however, on the other hand,it would have provided jobs for three years and through attrition, many may have been able to keep their jobs when the money ran out.”
